Its taken 3 long years but FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY have finally released their debut EP"Where Did We Go Wrong?" But where did it all go wrong for the lively lads from FAO? Some say you need to only take a look at the band’s bass player, Ben, and all is explained.
The boys from FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY or a motley crew of 4 slightly insane, boy-band wannabes that love to do nothing else but prance around on stage pretending they are rock stars.
For the very early days FAO have turned on amazing live shows and prided them selves on writing a new brand of Australian Punk Pop Tunes. With influences as varied as Aqua to Red Hot Chilli Peppers through to Ugly Kid Joe, FAO has a knack of creating a special blend of punk/pop/rock that just makes you want to sing along and laugh at Ben’s rude head at the same time.
After joining the ranks of Solitaire Management home to Area 7, Bodyjar, The Mavis’s (RIP) & Gameover (RIP), FAO were stoked to play alongside their teen idols, including Reel Big Fish, Millencolin, MxPx, Guttermouth, Bodyjar, 28 Days, The Ataris & Unwritten Law and more recently, SUM 41 & NOFX.
Through gaining great experience and exposure through playing with such bands FAO are now set to represent Australian Punk and take over the world, (or so they dream at night!) But the truth of the matter is the FAO boys enjoy nothing more than what they are doing in the band, playing great shows and writing tunes that they love.
The band name sums it up, and seeing these guys live confirms it all.
